Liebe Editor*innen, Conference Chairs und akademische Verleger*innen – wenn ihr wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zur doppelblinden anonymen #PeerReview-Begutachtung verschickt, achtet doch bitte darauf, dass die PDF-Dateien keine Metadaten enthalten, aus denen man die Namen oder Zugehörigkeiten der Autor*innen ablesen kann.

Ansonsten weiß man halt, wer das Paper geschrieben hat und die ganze weitere Anoymisierung ist für die Katz.

Vielen Dank an alle.

Academic wishlist:
What if funding/fellowship/grant agencies would simply allow submission of a LaTeX template (as in Overleaf's Submit to button). I understand why it's currently a mix and match of web forms and docx/pdf, but a single interface that easily allows for inclusion of references, mathematics, figures, schematics, etc, would allow me to focus on the application, and not the logistics. #LaTeX #Academia #WishFulThinking #ScientificWriting

I have been digging out my old copies of John McPhee's #books, dipping in, remembering what it was like to be a new #geologist, and how it has carried across into #spatial #data, #geomorphology, #geomorphometry, #hydrology, #landcover, #engineeringgeology, #environmentalscience, #landuse, #massmovement and so much more......
This one paragraph reminded me so strongly of that time,, although I cannot of course write as eloquently:
--
"I used to sit in class and listen to the terms come floating down the room like paper airplanes. Geology was called a descriptive science, and with its pitted outwash plains and drowned rivers, its hanging tributaries and starved coastlines, it was nothing if not descriptive. It was a fountain of metaphor—of isostatic adjustments and degraded channels, of angular unconformities and shifting divides, of rootless mountains and bitter lakes..."

If you use LaTeX, the compiler knows which files are included and used, and which are not. It would be a great feature for .e.g Overleaf to automatically highlight what figures/tex/bib files are referenced, and which are not. #academia #scientificwriting #overleaf #LaTeX #TeXLaTeX
For complex projects, versioned files may stick around for later use, but may or may not be used in a specific compile, or conditional compilation may be on/off etc. Now the only option is grep or removing & compile?

Ironically, the sparse attention this is typically given in #scientificWriting is what led to the “frenzy” of «on #GPU» papers of questionable quality in the early #CUDA days, since many reviewers were they themselves unequipped and inexperienced in the evaluation of different implementations, and were thus led astray by the claimed performance gains that compared highly optimized GPU code against primitive CPU prototypes.

Recently, more academic journals have requested graphical abstracts alongside traditional text-based ones. Check out this compact list of journals that mandate graphical abstracts. ⬇✨
